After Li Xu had gone far, Miss Yu San was about to get on the carriage and go back.
"Miss, it seems like someone is watching us." A servant of the Yu family stepped forward to report.
Yuzhu hurriedly put down the power fence on Miss Yu San's head. Miss San was different from ordinary women. She was born with outstanding beauty. If she was not careful, she would be chased and looked at a few times, so she would be very careful every time she went out. Today
There is chaos everywhere in the capital. The third lady came here because of Mr. Li Jiu.
Miss Yu San looked at Yuzhu: "We are leaving now."
Miss Yu San got on the carriage, called the steward over and said, "If the person who just stared at us comes again, let's find out his identity and find out whose spy it is."
This is very important, after all, you don’t know your enemies or friends when you come to the capital.
…
Miss Yu San's words did not have any impact on Li Xu.
He already knew what the Yu family was thinking, and he would not accept the Yu family's help, but he was a little surprised to hear the news so quickly.
It seemed that the Yu family's roots in Northern Xinjiang were deeper than what he had guessed. The Yu family was not neutral on the surface, but secretly had plans to find an opportunity to deal with the Zhang family.
Li Xu was thinking as he urged his horse forward. Song Chengxuan and his men had just left and should be not far ahead.
"Sir, they have dismounted." The attendant beside him reminded Li Xu in a low voice.
Li Xu raised his eyes and saw several horses tied to the big trees beside the official road. Obviously, Song Chengxuan dismounted and chased the person for fear of disturbing the enemy. The person must be holding something important in his hand, which could easily be destroyed.
, Otherwise, with Song Chengxuan’s skills, there is no need to be so careful.
Li Xu's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the result, and this was also the reason why he was here.
"Sir, do we also want to dismount and follow?"
Li Xu had already seen Song Chengxuan's figure in the woods nearby.
"Master Song," Li Xu got off his horse and walked over quickly, "We were ordered to cooperate with Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple to investigate the case. I took people to check if there are any suspicious people out of the city, and I happened to meet Master Song."
Li Xu looked calm and looked at the forest.
The forest was silent and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but everyone around Song Chengxuan had already left and had apparently sneaked into the forest quietly.
Song Chengxuan stared forward, the breeze blowing through his robe. He seemed not to hear Li Xu's words, but just paid attention to the movement in the forest.
The attendants around Li Xu couldn't help but say: "Master Song, we, Master Li..." As soon as he said this, he felt the atmosphere around him became cold and did not dare to continue.
This Lord Song often went in and out of the military camp and was not easy to get along with. The entourage shrank his neck and stood aside in silence.
"Master Li, if you want to investigate the case, there is no need to stay here," Song Chengxuan's attitude was very cold, "There is nothing here that Master Li wants."
As soon as Song Chengxuan finished speaking, there was a faint noise on the official road. Song Chengxuan just glanced at it lightly, as if he had seen everything through: "It seems that what Mr. Li wants is there."
While he was talking, someone came over in a hurry: "Sir, sir, something happened up front.
A family driving out of the city accidentally bumped into some passers-by. The passers-by fought with the servants and overturned the boxes on the car. The contents of the boxes fell out, and they were all gold cakes."
It would not be such a coincidence that the gold cake was discovered after a fight.
Li Xu thought of Miss Yu San's words. The person who left the city was probably the shopkeeper of Zhangjia Shop, and those who stopped the shopkeeper's carriage and horses from fighting were the Yu family members.
Miss Yu San saw him leaving the city and asked someone to expose the shopkeeper here. He just happened to be able to catch him.
"Master Song, don't you go over and have a look?" Li Xu looked at Song Chengxuan.
Song Chengxuan had already walked into the forest: "Master Li and I are on different paths."
Li Xu looked at the commotion not far away. This place was not far from the city gate. People from Shuntian Mansion would arrive soon. If Shuntian Mansion could take the lead, the case would fall on Shuntian Mansion's head.
but……
Li Xu thought of Cheng Ruhai's words: "Miss Xu is really powerful. Based on Prince Jing and her own illness, I concluded that Queen Yu was also poisoned."
When he heard this, there was a buzzing in his ears, and he looked at Cheng Ruhai in surprise.
Cheng Ruhai said: "The poison pill was made before the late emperor was established as the crown prince. There was a Taoist named Zhenhua next to the second prince at that time. This man was good at refining pills. The poison pill was probably made by Zhenhua.
The Zhang family and Zhenhua have a good relationship. Back then, the Queen Mother wanted the emperor to choose a daughter of the Zhang family as his queen..."
Li Xu only felt that Cheng Ruhai's voice was getting farther and farther away. He had read the pulse files recorded by Prince Jing, and what came to his mind were the tragic circumstances of Prince Jing's death.
"Then why did Miss Xu get poisoned?"
Li Xu still doesn't know what he was thinking at that time, but he would suddenly ask such questions. When Cheng Ruhai was willing to reveal some secrets, he would just listen on the sidelines. Such abrupt questions would arouse Cheng Ruhai's dissatisfaction, but Cheng Ruhai would instead
Won't tell the truth.
He would never make such a mistake normally.
As expected, Cheng Ruhai was startled, paused for a moment and said: "You are still young, and you don't know some of the past events... The Marquis of Anyi had close contacts with the King of Wei. It is difficult to explain the inside story in one sentence or two. I will tell you when I have the opportunity in the future.
But even for this reason, the emperor cannot fully trust An Yihou."
Cheng Ruhai didn't go into details, but he revealed enough. From it, Li Xu could guess the whole story. When An Yihou led troops to the Wei Palace to quell the rebellion, there was another inside story.
Afterwards, he took people to investigate the case and found out that Zhang Yuci had destroyed the pills. However, the Zhang family had gone through a lot of twists and turns over the years, and Zhang Yuci might have other plans for such an important thing.
Song Chengxuan appeared here for something very important. To him... maybe it was the pill.
Li Xu was somewhat sure of his guess. He looked up and saw that Song Chengxuan had walked into the forest. He looked at the official road and saw that all the cadres were waiting for him to make arrangements.
"You guys go to the front and take a look. I will be here soon."
After speaking, Li Xu took out the soft sword from his waist and walked towards the forest.
…
Jiang Yong looked around and let out a long sigh of relief. No one should be following him.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, and was about to get a water bag to drink when suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the sky. Jiang Yong was about to avoid it, but the arrow came very quickly, and he was right in front of him.
Jiang Yong shook his sleeves, and two wax pills came into his hands. The wax pills contained exactly the medicine that the master had given him.
He was about to use his strength to crush the wax pills and destroy the medicine, but he found that he couldn't use his strength because his arm had been cut off by a sharp blade, and all the wax pills in his severed hand fell into the palm of a person.
.
Jiang Yong looked at the man. The man's eyes were cold and he was holding a blood-stained sword in his hand. It was the sword that cut off his arm.
There was a thick murderous aura and chill in the air.
A dead soldier is not afraid of life and death, but this series of changes left Jiang Yong with only surprise and fear in his heart. He forced himself to muster up his morale again. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt a cold feeling under his ribs, and he rushed backward, and then
was firmly nailed to the tree trunk.
Jiang Yong's eyes widened. The person in front of him had a deep gaze and a cold expression. His whole person was like a sharp knife unsheathed.
"Zhang Yuci asked you to bring out more than these two. Where are the rest hidden?" The voice sounded very calm, but it made people feel cold all over. "I don't like torturing people. If you tell me, I will end it."
